Chatham South 1981 Class Reunion.

This is me and some of my old school mates from the classes of 1980 & 1981. The lovely Anita Bray organised it for us and we had a good evening catching up on old times. Let's hope we don't wait another 30yrs before doing it again !

Our revamped pond.

This weekend Julia persuaded me to revamp our pond. We've dug out the weeds, laid some weed preventing material followed by coloured gravel. Looks infinitely better than before plus we've replaced the tub plants with some new stuff which Julia's promised to water so all good. Am totally knackered now time to freshen up have some lunch and put my feet up!

Paddington Bear Tattoo

Here's a photo of the latest tattoo, done to celebrate the latest nephew William. It was taken straight after it was done and after a couple of weeks it's lightened up quite a bit. Its located on my right leg below the tatt of Eeyore and George, my first nephew. As it's healing it's getting quite itchy so try to air it as much as I can hence wearing a skirt tonight to the line dancing. Looking forward to seeing Julia's leg tattoo finished next month. She's had the one on her left leg extended up onto her thigh. So far a lot is just outlines but will be shaded in and completed in August. Two 4hr sessions it will have taken so it's a massive piece but will look awesome when it's done!

Leeds Castle

Have just spent a lovely day here with Julia. We went earlier in the year so now we can go as often as we like for a year. I love this place , it's on the door step for us and is a good place to just wander round or chill out. Now we can go whenever I'm hoping to visit out of season so we can see what it's like in the Autumn and Winter. Today we took our car blanket so we could find a shady place to sit and eat the wicked ham sarnies we bought in Asda. Still pretty busy even for a weekday before the school holidays , a couple of school groups and lots of foreigners wielding cameras. We went inside the castle again and the dog collar museum which is fascinating. Looking forward to the rest of my week off work especially as got my Paddington tattoo on Wednesday morning , hoping that where I scraped my leg in the garden yesterday has healed before he kicks off on Wednesday !
